The typist may swing theswing frame lup by pushin the hook 9d rearwardly f tofrelease the hande, and then drawing on the handle, with the result that the platenswings up untilwebs 10, drawn along the Subrarrgage 14, can Vbestretched straight The fan-fold web 10 may be introduced in the machineat its rear side and carried fo wardly and down and up around the platen18 in the usual way, and its leading edge may be passed up under theusual front feed rolls 17, and led under the usual web-sever.-

' ing knife 39, and the edge of the web may be' brought into coincidencewith the cutting, edge' of the knife. lVhile the web is lightly held bythe rolls 12', (the usual bottom feed rolls 22, 23 being cast oi Iby theusualkey -w'ard extension fr exn the usual platen' carriage 20 of theUnderwood typewriting'g; ma-

.chine The single ply 4web .'11 is led along forwardly [beneath Athecarbon '-16 which underlies the fanffold web, and .passes over av bar.21, and thence downwardly around under the platen 18 and assembled underor around' 'the fan-fold web 10, and. thus it may be led upwardly (thefeed rolls-.22, 23 remain-.- ing casteil' from theplaten) and over 'thefan-fold web' 10 until the leading edge of the single ply web is broughtto a gage25, beyond 'the knife edge 39, and resting upon the overlyingtable 25,".

The bar 21 Amay be in the form of a rolled rim provided upon the upper.portion of a paper shelf 26, which extends forwardly and'downwardly/.to curve around the under side of the platen; Vand thisbar- 21 -may be placed some distance below the. bar 24, over which thefan-fold web 10 turns in de seending to -th'e platen. "The extra cannon16 may; if desired, pass o'ver the bar 24, although preferably it passesbetween 24 and the web 11` and may rest upon-.a table or shelf 262,'extending back fromthe usual. tie-rod 26b which connects the side platesof.-V

supplementary carriage 19, said shelf lying suiiciently* low to clearthe carbon carriage 14,'as illustrated at Fig. 3 The reali` end ofvthiscarbon 16 is caughtupon a special blade 27 provided upon en -extension-28 -at the lower front portlon of the cai'boncarria 14. The specialweb-supporting table 18?l may ssj.

be supported at its .forward end upon hangers 29 depending from the,side bars of the 'carriage 19, and at its rear end upon a crossbarBOconnected b brackets 32 to hangers 31 dropped from the side bars of19; said hangers 31 being at the sides of the machine, and havmg -rollsA33 to run upon a rail 34.

During the aforesaid mani ulation of the.

main o'r outer web 11, the lea ing end of the fan-fold web 10 maybe heldin its previously gaged-positiomby means of said front rolls 17. Theseweb units may thus be `brought into perfect relative register as to theforms printed thereon, even though their leading edges maybe one in.advance-of the ,other. It will be understood that the f orms on 'theouter web 11 may have extensive headingsv .printed thereon, and hencemay be longer than the forms on the fan-fold web 10, which need noheadin The" outer web isoriglnally advan a corresponding distance beyondthefan-fold web, so as to bring .their forms 'intorelative register; andAit will be understood that when the webs are sub- AAsequently dividedinto pages, the page `severed from the outer webA will be longer thanthose which-areseve'red from the fanfold web.

When the. outer web 11 has been brought up a amst its gage 25, thecollated webs may e pressedby the restored feed rolls 22, 23 agamst thebottom of the platen. The

y rolls 17 may ,relnaln' effective.

TheA gage 25 may, if desired,lfbe omitted, and themaln or overlying web11 may have a llne ormark printed thereon to coincide with said topledge of the fan-fold page, so..

that the operatorinayneedonly to draw the'outer sheetll up until'he seesthat such prlnted line registers with the tearing edge of the knife'. Inother words, the webs may,

if desired, be originally collated. to the knife edge, the fanfoldleading edge being first brought to said edge, and there held lightlyjby the pressure of rolls 17, while the outer `web 11 is advancedthereover tobi-ing the `line or mark thereon into register with saidknife edge.

Then the typing of the page may proceed. If such page is to becompletelylilled out by I the typing, the line-feeding operations will `finallybring the leading edge of the web 10 into engagement with a gage 35. Butif. the

`typing is not to fill up the page, the operator will finally needtoadvance the web 10 to said gage 35, preferably after the carbonsheetshave been shifted back for the succeeding form or page.

1,31e,e14 A Whether the page has benenfully or only by the typing, theoperator Y proceeds 'to release the front rolls 17 (each of which forthis purpose is mounted upon an arm 17a of usual construction, pivotallyconnected to a grooved short shaft .17'b of the usual type, and helddown by the ,usual spring' 179), andjthen swing up the platen 18 tostraighten out the we bs (see Fig. 6 1n said atent), and then, bymanipulating the usualP hand1e38,'"push backwardly the carriage -14which carries the carbons,-so that while all'thesheetslare substantiallystraight 'being for this off)l advance ,thejlite lto its-gage 25, and t1forward byimeans of the 'or flat, 'saidgcarjhonsfl 16 will be returnedto positions/reu-i'red for writing the succeeding pagel upon the webs.The operator may then 'swing the platenv down to norma-l.positin,' and,release `the rolls 22', 23 by depressing' thel keyjet, 'and thenadvance the outer .webfll toal gage 40, to bring it to pcsitionffrseverance 4by the, knife 39. rl. `he gage :'40 may. 4he adjusted' toallow for a greater bottom `rniangin, on Vthepage .torn

'afi-oni, 11 than on he page torn from 10. In

fact, the positionof gage A40 may allow for both top and bottom.additionalmargins on 11., Theront rolls 17 are restored and remain' onthe paper during the manipulation ofpthe outer Web-l1, butdonot'interere with the adjustment of 11, since they press but lightly,although with suilicien-t force to hold .fthe inner web 10 againstaccidental displacement during the described 1nanipulation vof webll.The operator may now tear oli' simultaneously '-bothtlie .typed page ofthe Louter 'web 1l, and also thefcorresponding portion yfof thean-fqldiweb 10,by the use of said knife 39 whichfe'xtends-.along thefrontof the platen.

The webs llgand lllfahaving-been Severed ttor -23jremaining cast :ebl1.1,' if necessary, thefeed rolls 22, 23

rolls may fbe restored and -'t m nextpage may proceed;

It will be understood; that/if vthe pages from the outer web 11 are to.be of the saineV length as those from'the inner web 10, the gages 25 and40 need not-be used, but that both webs may 'be Set up to the singlegage 35 preparatory to tearing oil' the pages, from the webs 'by meansof the knife 39.

The .advance of the outer, web 11,' into the niapliine may be.- aided bypower derived through" theuweb 10, the latter being drawn y usualconnection to the lirici-.feeding mechanism 4ot the typewriter, a partof .which is sen at 45, F ig. 1. he incoming web '1Q Ais pressed 'by aroll 46 against a companion roll 47; said roll 46 purpose mounteduponarms or bail 48, pressedA forwardly by' spring 49, to press the webagainst the latter the. inner one may be held v.t'ypewriting of. the= ycated.

4the first or advanced cli-ps 62 are released latter is 'confinedbetween the bars of the' supplemental carriage 19 of the typewriter, andso travels to and fro with said carriage in letter-feeding direction.Said roll 47 is connected by a spline 50 to its axle 51, the mounted .instationary supports 52 upon the main frame. of the typewriting'inachineand having at its end a. pulley 53 connccted by a belt 51 toa pulley 55upon a shaft 56, by which the supply spool -12 of the single-ply web 11is rotated, and the web is caused to fall therefrom in a loop?, whichloop' is suflicieutly flexible to accommodate the travel of the' table1Sa and the typewriter carriage 19, while the spool 12 remainsstationary. Additional pulleys VA58 and 59 may v lle provided` forvarying theV speed of rotation `of tl1e;spool 1:2, when desired.Preferably, the driven pulley shaft 5G carries' a roll 61 which has acontact withthe periphery of the spool 12,1130 drive the same to payoithe as that at which the web 10 advances; and the belt 54 'may consistof helically-wound wire coils, to make it extensible. A spring (51a maykeep the drivin roll 6l in contact with the outer coil of t .latterunwinds; said spring connected to an arm or arms 61h which cariv saidroll.

4t will be seen" the outer web constitute separate webs, and by thepressure of the rolls 17, while the outer web is advanced thereovex'.'It will furtherbe apparent that certain features of the invention areapplicable for separate webs whether said webs are single ply, orfan-fold, or otherwise folded. For en ampleytlie machineinay-be web 11at the saine speed 1e spool 12, asl the en'iploj-'ed for typewritingupon numerous said webs may be advanced to one of said' gages 215, 35,40, (the rolls 22, 23 being rewebs may be further adjusted to the otheof said gages, in the manner already indi- To avoid n iisalinement ofthe forms among the various ivebs, due to creeping, the single webs may'be separately re-gaged preparatory to typing each page or form thereon.The webs may be set one at a time to the adjustable lower gage 35. Thatis to say, the innermost web may be brought first to the gage 35, andthere held 'bj/ the pressure of the rolls l17,'01 said rolls may be castoil' and the web maybe held by clips 62, one clip upon each side 'of themain collatingl table 63. Then the second web is adjusted to the samegage, and gripped by the other or lternate clips -64 at the sides,"whereupon bythe operator; sinc'e the clips G4 will hold both plies.vanced to the same gage 35, and held bythe leased) while one or more ofthe reinafininff Then -a third web may be' adf yfirstclips 62, afterwhich the clips 64 ,are re leased; and so on, rasingle pair of clips,one at each side of the machine, always suiiicing to hold all of thepreviously registered webs.

Them'i'f desired, one .or more additional or.

,outer .webs (having long pages thereon) may be adjusted to the topadjustable ge 40, while :the inner webs remain clipp and the same clips'will answer for retaining one or more of the outer webs, if necessary,

during the progress of the collating operation. It will .bessen that byusing the gages and clips in this manner, the difficulty heretoforeexperienced lwith the use of separate v plies pf "..webs which areprinted with forms may be avoided, the d iiiiculty -consisting in 4th'recreeping lof the webs, d'ue to the rolling of theassembled webs aroundthe revoluble platen; the "outer web always tendi'n to 20 travel morerapidly than the inner we so4 that in time the outer web will creep sofar that the 'stration of the form lines on the various we s will belost. By the present means, theremay be secured rta-registration of the'lines or forms upontlie various single-ply webs preparatory tothewriting of each page, so that-the difficulty due to creep. ing isavoided. Ehe-gage 25' may have a range of adjustment greater than thelength 3o -of a printedform, so as to be usable for a top sheet whetherthe lower sheets are gaged by 39 or..35. After the webs are all set up:to one or both of the gages 35, 25, the feed rollsl 22, 23-may berestored (also the rolls i 85 17 if desired), and the platen knob 65maybe turned to roll all the webs backwardly until the edges of the lowerwebs' iecede -froxn the gage 25 to the upper edgeof the' l'mife'39;whereupon the typing may pro- 40. ceed. But if the top web has been setup to the ga 40there vmay (be provided a line or mareupon said top web,to coincide with the top edges of the bottom webs, so that the 'operatorneeds only to retractthe webs far 45 enough to bring said line or markinto register with the knife. It will 'be seen, moreover, that at anytime, after. typing af page,

the lower single webs one at a time may be adjusted to the knife andtorn off accurately,

so that thereafter they will all be sure to be vin proper register whentheir leadingA edges are adjustedt0 their gage 35.

The details of the preferred forms of cola lating tables 'and gages willbe understood A from the drawings; thev table 63 carrying the overlyingcollating table 25* xed lthere- `on, 25* having downwardly-turned Vsideianges to connect it to-63. Gage 35 is retaned in1 any position by meansof a thumb- '60 screw, 6 5, extending down through a narrow slot 66`inthe table 63. Gage 25 is retained wherever adjustedl by means of athumbscrew 67 extending down through the same slot 66; said gage 25consisting ofa Bange 65 bent down from a top collating table 68.

Upon the under side of 68 is a boss 69 for the thumb-screw 67; said bosspassing down "'51"-A through a; .'slot in 25", and also fitting in a.slot ina plate 70 extending up from the gage Y 35. The slots, boss andscrew may coperate 70 with the slots to guide the: gages up or down; l,i,
